Was the watch seized by customs or sent back?
My watches are almost 2 weeks waiting to get picked up by DHL HongKong.

Seized by customs is what I'm guessing so I opted for a second try

This is what Ryan said to me:
"It just did not pass through the security checks in Hong Kong.
The new tracking number should be available in the next few days."

My TD said DHL has so many packages at the moment that are waiting for scheduled flights..
I will remain patience, things will finally work out like they always do with TD’s.

Correct. He confirmed this to me this morning. It will work out one way or another. Just gotta be patient and wait for the all-clear.

Robert, I gotta know how does the bracelet feel? Does it feel refined like orig -or are there sharp edged and links that are not smooth?

I am hoping my Air King comes tomorrow. very anxious. If happy, I am getting aither the Datejust w/ oyster band and white dial or a submariner.

It's a beautiful band, it feels great (I honestly don't even feel the difference between the jubilee on this and the genuine jubilee.) Plus it hides scratches extremely well compared to the oyster bracelet
